One has to wonder where the line was drawn between our Republic and the tenants of socialism/fascism used by New Progressive Democrats under the leadership of Pelosi/Reid/Kerry and Obama. Apparently, the Obama Campaign has established a relationship between campaign officials and local government officials in Missouri. Prosecutors and sheriffs from across Missouri have joined the "truth squad” – their task: reminding voters that Obama is a Christian and is going to cut their taxes – and that anyone who runs a misleading ad will be prosecuted. Appalled? This is not the first time that the Obama Campaign tried this tactic in Missouri; they ran a similar campaign against Hillary Clinton during the primary. Not one peep from the press – not one cry of outrage - Clinton won Missouri handily. How did the rest of America miss this?
The question now arises – how legal and/or ethical is collusion between a political candidate from one party and state officials and employees aiding and abetting that campaign employing intimidation and threats during a primary or general election? Although both sheriffs and prosecutors are elected Progressive Democrats; telling voters that Obama is a Christian - and that he will cut taxes might not be part of their job description – moreover by insinuating that the opposing campaign’s ads will be misleading or false, is akin to an abuse of power. The “Truth Squad” is interesting to say the least, considering that it was established in order to stifle any questions regarding Obama and/or his record. May of these “truths” have proven to be stretched to the limit. These types of fascist tactics by Obama campaign should be a warning to all people of independent mind.

McCain – Assesses the Wall Street Bailout with Prudence
According to a recent Reuters article, nothing has changed in Washington - the President, George W. Bush, wants to give Wall Street a virtual blank check (being from the Baystate; The Big Dig comes to mind), the Democrats, led in the press by Rep. Barney Frank (D. MA) are screaming foul at every turn, because they have come up with a plan and allegedly had Bush ready to sign it. The Democrat plan has few restrictions: salary caps for ceo’s, and capital gains tax increase, along with oversights and transparency (something McCain has been pushing for all along). Bush will normally bow to media and democrat pressure, one of his major pitfalls with conservative. Frank and the press are blaming the administration for the collapse, when every single deal going on has Obama’s, Kerry’s, Dodd’s and Frank’s fingerprints all over the place (Those who benefited from kickbacks by Freddie and Fannie, and Frank particularly for pushing for no background checks on lower income individuals applying for mortgages.) Bush to his credit was concerned about potential problems with Freddie and Fannie, and it was Frank’s who poo-pooed his fears as ridiculous. The chickens have come home to roost, and so, Democrats do what they are bound to do – point the finger at the other party.
Here’s the kicker – the House Republican’s have developed their own version, one which is sensible, contains oversights, yet does not cripple small business. John McCain wants to investigate all avenues, which, considering the magnitude of what our government is asking of John and Jane Taxpayer, is a good idea. Obama wants to get it over with and debate (which may or may not be in his best interest considering that the debate would be on Foreign Policy) – it’s me, me, and more me – Obama 24/7.
McCain is acting like a man – a man who would look at all the proposals from both sides of the aisle in order to come to a sane and reasonable solution to this mess. He is also in the position to and more importantly willing to negotiate across party lines. In other words, he is not rushing to judgment, or putting himself first, rather he is governing in a style more presidential, one that proves he knows who he’s working for – the American people. Obama on the other hand offers little, citing politics as McCain’s motivation and demanding the debate take place like a spoiled child - the press, otherwise known as "journalist for Obama", are doing everything in their power to make McCain look unreasonable.

Couric on Palin – Not so subtle deception by CBS
Last evenings CBS news broadcast with Katie Couric featured two interviews; one with John McCain followed by an interview with Sarah Palin. In the first segment, Ms. Couric, on the current financial situation, asked John McCain if he agreed with Sarah Palin in her statement that the United States was heading for another depression. CBS Video Here
Later during the Palin Interview, Couric first asks Palin if she believes that the United States is heading for a Great Depression, Palin answer was non-committal; she stressed the importance of a bi-partisan plan and noted that if nothing was done that could be a possibility. The question one has to ask is: How stupid does the Elite Media feel the American people are? Anyone watching this specific broadcast understood immediately that Couric was dishonest in her alleged reporting. It is precisely this type of media coverage that continues to help push rankings and subscriptions further in to the abyss. One thing is fairly certain, come November 5th, there will be a shift in the media; either they will become more embolden with the arrogance of self-perceived importance in swaying an American election, or they will be even more marginalized than they are today – blaming the internet repeatedly for their woes. The interesting aspect of the internet as a catalyst vis a vis declining viewership and subscribers is that these types of media have solid web presence; however, traffic is often a problem. The problem the networks and major daily papers have is simple: They don’t understand that they have lost the trust of a majority of Americans because their bias is not concealed; rather it has become glaringly apparent. Journalist should report - not pontificate (or campaign) – that is editorial content, not a report. Ms. Couric’s editorial interview with Sarah Palin is shown below.
